    Comicpalooza will feature WWE legend John Cena as a guest this year.

    “We’re excited to bring actor, philanthropist, and one of WWE’s most esteemed wrestlers to Houston,” said Aimée McCurtain, chief strategy officer for Comicpalooza and a vice president of the Houston First Corporation. “John Cena’s impact in pop-culture extends beyond the wrestling ring with credits from comedy and action to fantasy and voice acting. We cannot wait to introduce him to his fans at Comicpalooza!”

    The Doctor of Thuganomics has become the greatest breakout star of wrestling since Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. In addition to being a 16-time world champion, he has branched out into blockbuster movies such as The Suicide Squad and Barbie. Most recently, he starred in the Amazon comedy, Ricky Stanicki, and voiced his Peacemaker character in Mortal Kombat 1.

    Though Comicpalooza spans the entire Memorial Day weekend, Cena will only be in attendance on Sunday, May 26.

    Cena’s appearance helps cement professional wrestling as a legitimate part of the greater pop culture world at cons like Comicpalooza. Previously, the event has hosted legends like Scott Hall and Scott Steiner, as well as indie talent like Sexy Star.

    Horror fans will also have a chance to rub elbows with icons. Comicpalooza has put together a Nightmare on Elm Street track featuring the original Freddy Krueger, Robert Englund. He is joined by two of his costars/victims from the 1984 film, Amanda Wyss (Tina) and Ronee Blakley (Marge). Englund is one of the most famous horror actors of the last century, having starred as Kreuger in eight films as well as appearing in 976-Evil, The Mangler, and Urban Legend. Like Cena, he has also appeared in NetherRealm fighting games, playing Dr. Jonathan Crane/The Scarecrow in Injustice 2.

    Comicpalooza is the largest annual comic book and pop culture convention in the state, regularly seeing around 50,000 attendees over its three days. It hosts vendors, panels, guest stars, costume contests, and shows. This year will have the Friday Night Rave featuring anime DJs from Club Kaiju and Fight Club: Video Game Tournament in collaboration with Turnip Cafe and Kaboom! Comics.

    With Houston and Dallas being hubs for the anime and voice acting scenes in America, Comicpalooza always hosts some of the biggest names in the industry. This year fans can meet Alex Organ (My Hero Academia), Megan Shipman (Attack on Titan), Natalie Van Sistine (One Piece), and Reagan Murdock (Chainsaw Man).

    Tickets and more information can be found on Comicpalooza’s website.

    Cosmic Baseball's neon-lit 2027 stadium tour makes stop in Sugar Land

    Cosmic Baseball will travel to Constellation Field in Sugar Land on June 11 and 12.

    The immersive, blacklight entertainment-sports sensation Cosmic Baseball will come to Major and Minor League Baseball stadiums in 2027, including a stop at Constellation Field in Sugar Land on June 11 and 12.

    In total, the "Cosmic Takeover Tour" will feature 146 games in 50 cities in 2027, nearly double the number of games played (74) and up from 30 cities in 2026.

    The 45 Minor League Baseball stadiums will be joined by five Major League stops, including Globe Life Field in Arlington. The tour officially starts on March 19 in Jacksonville, Florida.

    In addition to Sugar Land, the tour's Minor League stadium stops in Texas include San Antonio on May 1, Round Rock on September 18, El Paso on October 2, Corpus Christi on October 16, and Frisco on October 22 and 23.

    The event features specialized teams competing under a full-scale neon display of black-light effects and UV-reactive gear.

    Part professional baseball and part immersive performance, Cosmic Baseball transforms traditional ballparks into glowing nighttime shows.

    Originating as a one-off event in 2024 by the Tri-City Chili Peppers, a college summer team in Virginia, the concept expanded in 2025 and 2026 to travel to cities nationwide.

    To support the 2027 tour expansion, Cosmic Baseball will be adding two new teams that will compete alongside the Cosmic Chili Peppers and the Glow Mojis.

    “Having seen the level of demand for tickets following the announcement of the Cosmic Takeover Tour, we had no choice but to explore adding stops so that more fans could enjoy the unique experience of watching a Cosmic Baseball game,” said Chris Martin, Owner and Founder of Cosmic Baseball, in a statement.

    Fans must join the ticket lottery for the chance to experience Cosmic Baseball in-person. Those selected will be notified by either text and email, and the opportunity to purchase tickets will exist until the chosen event sells out.
